ELISE and JOSHUA
Elise said Joshua's place was "gross" and she wasn't used to living in "a frat house" with other men.Elise said the fact Joshua's friend Nat was "financially supporting" him by letting him live in her place rent-free was "super f-cking weird" to her.

Elise didn't know what to think, and she complained about experiencing major highs and lows with Joshua.
"I'm going crazy! I don't know what the f-ck is going on with him! I just feel overwhelmed and I want to go home," Elise cried to the cameras.
"I just feel alone. I don't know, I woke up and he was gone... Where is he?!"
Joshua apparently walked into his apartment, saw Elise crying and then left.
Joshua told Elise that he thought she needed some time alone, and he asked her what was wrong.

Joshua, who clearly panicked, explained how he had gotten a few things done -- including some work -- while she slept in. He was also annoyed that Elise had texted him "a smart ass comment" about Nat.
Elise acknowledged that she was falling for Joshua and wanted things to work, and so he gave her a kiss and suggested it was a whole new day.
Elise, however, was nervous about what else she was going to discover about Joshua.
After enjoying a day of surfing and eating giant burgers, Joshua told Elise that he didn't want her to leave Australia in a week.
"I believe that you have an amazing heart. It just worries me that I feel like your life is unstable. There are just so many question marks, like, where you're going to live and the job stuff," Elise explained.

Joshua explained how his son leaving and moving a flight away really "rattled" him. Joshua said he started going out a lot and partying in order to take his mind off of things.
Elise admitted she had "a wild streak" as well when looking for what she wanted in life and had been taken advantage of in the past. Elise said her ex had taken advantage of her and her family financially and she didn't want to let that happen again.

Joshua argued that he didn't make Elise pay for anything while she was there and accusing him of using her was "stupid." He said he wasn't going to play games with her and so if she wanted to leave, she should go.
Elise said Joshua had become very offended and defensive, but she thought she had every right to ask him questions. Elise said she was looking for stability.
Elise revealed how she had moved to Florida at a young age and lost her boyfriend to serious struggles. She said she struggled to trust men after that point and Joshua's lies scared her.
Elise FaceTimed with her parents, and they advised her to discover more and judge less with Joshua. They were positive about Joshua, even after hearing about his secrets, and so Elise decided to be more positive.
"But I still feel in my gut something is not right," Elise noted.
Meanwhile, Joshua thought Elise was jealous of Nat, and he said he hated being in a relationship with a jealous woman. He also accused Elise of attacking his integrity and wrongly questioning his intentions.
LISA and DANIEL
Daniel was still very upset Lisa had lied to him, but he pointed out how "everyone is a sinner" and it's okay to ask for forgiveness."I love Lisa, and she promised not to do it anymore. We all make mistakes, and I still want to marry her," Daniel told the cameras.

Daniel -- who felt "disgraced" for having slept with somebody's wife -- therefore returned to see his uncle to share the truth and hopefully receive his blessing, again, to marry Lisa.
"I had told you that she was divorced two times... but she told me that she had gotten married five times and she has not been divorced, legally. When I heard this, I was shocked," Daniel told the uncle.
"She also told me that she has been in a relationship with several women."
Daniel's uncle called this "an abomination," but Lisa insisted she had stopped being a lesbian and that was just her past. Lisa also explained how the culture in America is very different from Nigeria.
"I don't believe you. You are just telling me lies. You are an abomination," Daniel's uncle repeated. "Because of this problem, your marriage will be over."
Lisa loudly sobbed and cried into her hands, but Daniel's uncle clearly felt angry and deceived.
Daniel's uncle thought Lisa was crying just to get sympathy from him, which he thought was another offense. He therefore removed his approval and blessing of their relationship.
Daniel's uncle accused Lisa of having "crocodile tears," but Daniel repeated how he loved Lisa and wanted to marry her.
Lisa said she had made mistakes in the past but she no longer behaved that way. Lisa insisted that Daniel was the man she was supposed to be with -- and that she wasn't going to leave without him.
Lisa promised that she was done lying and had no more secrets, and then she got down on her knees and begged for his forgiveness.
Daniel also begged his uncle, asking if there was any way they could solve this issue. Daniel's uncle said he'd talk to the elders and find out from them if this relationship could continue.
Lisa was pleased that Daniel's uncle was going to take things to the next step, but she only had one day left in Nigeria.

Michael had traveled to Turkey to check on Laura and see how she was doing, and the dynamic between Birkan and Michael was tense and awkward.Michael brought Laura gifts, and Birkan sarcastically noted, "That's so nice of you. You're so thoughtful."
Laura thought Birkan was being "ridiculously cold" to Michael and that it was intentional and unnecessary.
"Grow up!" Laura complained in a confessional of her boyfriend.
Birkan offered to show Michael around his city, but he said Michael needed to know his boundaries. Birkan was also after information and to find out Michael's motive for visiting Laura.

But Michael didn't think gambling was a good source of income, and he was worried that Laura was going to have to support Birkan in the United States.
"I don't see it working," Michael told the cameras.
Michael explained how people should marry their best friend but it seemed like Birkan and Laura had different sleeping habits and hobbies.

"So why didn't you fall in love with each other?" Birkan asked Laura and Michael.
"I don't have an answer for that," Michael replied.
Laura revealed there was more to her romantic history with Michael than what she had told Birkan.
"You should know that I will fight, and nothing will f-ck over this relationship. You should know that," Birkan told Michael.
During some guy time later on, Birkan asked Michael to admit he was in love with Laura, but Michael said he had been hanging out with her for over a year and never made a move on her.
"Laura made a move on me -- a very strong move on me, one that you wouldn't misunderstand," Michael told Birkan.

"And I told her, 'I'm sorry, I cannot reciprocate it. I cannot give that back to you.'"
Michael claimed this incident happened long before Laura met Birkan, and he claimed that he would continue to say "no" to Laura.
"That opportunity was there, and I chose not to take it," Michael reiterated.
Birkan said Laura had never mentioned this before and it was a real problem -- not because of Michael.
Michael then added how he wasn't in Turkey to threaten Birkan or try to take Laura away from him.
"I believe you and I don't believe Laura anymore. My trust is broken now," Birkan told Michael.

"This is more than a lie. This is an intentional deception. She kept something from me. I don't know... if there is going to be a future.

"He said, 'I don't want to hear from you anymore,'" Emma revealed.
"I am so done. I am f-cking done... This was a waste of my time. He invited me to Casablanca just to tell me he had a fiancee. Then why did you make me come here?!"
Emma said she was "so done" with these "pieces of sh-t men."
Emma vented about how she had wasted her time and her money. She let off some steam and told all of her exes and their partners to "f-ck" off.
"I know somebody is going to love me and appreciate the person that I am. I just want to go home now," Emma noted.
